Every year since 2006 when Emilia was born we made a photo book for her year in photos. Since I'm not a scrapbooker and I'm not good at printing them (http://www.shutterfly.com/prints) and putting them in an album, this is what I do with the thousand pictures I take during the year. We make a hardback 8x8 album and I usually finish the week of Thanksgiving since there's usually a good offer going on. Like right now you buy 1 album and get the others 50% off.

We always get 3 copies - 1 for my parents, 1 for Chris's parents, and 1 to keep. So this year I'm making 2 books - 1 for Beau (Volume 1) and 1 for Emilia (Volume 5). Granted Beau's is more sparse trying to fill up 20 pages with 3 months of pictures and I added 10 pages for Emilia!http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books

We're also making a Christmas card this year since we can add more than 1 picture.

Here's a diaper cake that I made for a friend at work who's having a baby girl. I think it turned out super cute and we were able to get a lot of full size items off the registry since 3 of us went in together for it. The cake contains:

I was trying to get a cute picture of Beau in his monkey pjs from Kerry. Emilia was helping, Beau kept grinning (he likes to flirt now) but the shots are blurry. Guess I should have used a real camera and not the iPhone!

Oh I should have updated pictures on here soon since I'm off next week. Yes, that means I will be working on Volume 1 of Beau's album and Emilia's Volume 5 of yearly pictures for our parents.

Saturday's soccer game. Those are glitter stars on her cheeks since she said that's what real soccer players wear. It was a great game. It's amazing how the team gets better every game. They ended up tied 1-1 but they made a lot of shots on the goal and their goalie kept it out and it was the same with the other team.

About Me

I am a 3rd generation Houstonian and Chris moved around when he was younger until they settled in Texas. We met at a wedding and married less than 2 years later on March 3, 2001. We have a daughter named Emilia and a son named Beau. We lived in The Woodlands, TX until my job offered us the chance of a lifetime to move to Perth. After living in Perth for 2 1/2 years, we moved back to The Woodlands in July 2015. We're simply Christians with a love for our kids, Star Wars, Les Miserables and swimming.
